Rev 1.0 July 2011

RAIDDrive II PCIe SSD Datasheet
1.1 PRODUCT OVERVIEW
RAIDDrive II is designed to break the throughput bottleneck in the storage subsystem by
removing the bandwidth limitation of the SATA bus. The PCIe (Gen.2) x8 interface used by
RAIDDrive II supports 4GB/sec bandwidth, more than 10 times that of the SATA-II 3Gbps bus,
and 5 times greater than the SATA-III bus.
Using the latest NAND flash memory and up-to-date RAID controller, RAIDDrive II is able to
support Max. Read speeds of up to 2.4GB/sec. A turbocharged cache system with up to 1GB of
DRAM cache enables Max. Write speeds as fast as 2.8GB/sec. RAIDDrive II, which houses eight
discrete SATA SSDs, comes in a custom formfactor measuring 231.5 x 94 x 20.6 mm.
This small formfactor now can be fitted into the 1U/2U/3U storage server with the RISER card,
which is one of the great advantages over the previous generation RAIDDrive I.

5.3.2 PC MARK VANTAGE
The RAIDDrive posted excellent scores in Media Center, but relatively slow scores in other
applications because they are mostly using small file application except Video Editing.

5.3.6 IO METER
IO Meter tests the RAIDDrive’s transaction speed in I/O operations per second. We ran this test
with queue depth settings of 1 ~ 64. The larger queue depth tended to offer the highest
transaction speeds. We specially ran this program for 50 minutes per each thread at the Steady
State SSD status.
